Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Chairman Masud Khan announced that the initial public offering (IPO) process will be simplified to attract more companies to the capital market. Speaking at a Dhaka Brokers Association event on July 2, 2026, he said BSEC will meet with the Dhaka Stock Exchange, ICMAB, and merchant banks within two weeks to discuss reforms. Khan noted that IPO approvals currently lack transparency and tracking, discouraging firms from seeking market funding.
He emphasized reducing regulatory bottlenecks and empowering stock exchanges to perform their responsibilities independently. The chairman also announced plans to replace full quarterly financial reports with condensed versions following international standards, and to transition BSEC operations from paper-based to fully digital systems using XBRL and XML-based reporting. He urged lower listing fees and stronger digital trading mechanisms to prevent signature misuse.
Khan further highlighted the need for investor education, simplification of capital gains tax procedures, and effective enforcement through specialized tribunals. Market participants at the event supported deregulation and faster IPO approvals to revive market activity.
